Let Everything Go

I have been holding on to too much and all of that spewed out with a conversation with my friend. I mean I went into crying mode, talking to her about how I haven't let go of my grandmother's death or my nephew's and how I cope with eating. I let everything flow out of me. I realize that I have been holding on to things that need to be let go. I can't change things with my grandmother or my nephew. Lord knows my heart aches for them. It's not easy to say goodbye to a loved one, especially a child.

I've been wanting to talk to someone about this for awhile. It came out to her and let me know that I have to be real with God. There are things that I still hold onto with myself and with others. I haven't been able to let them go. Holding in my feelings have made me feel miserable. It came to me awhile ago. In order to grow, we must let go. We can't hold on. Jesus invites each and everyone to come to Him. He said that He would give us rest. I love that verse because as I sit here crying, I realize the Truth. I realize the comfort that He gives and His love for us. I realize that my Lord mourns with me. He cares for me. He wants to carry me if I only let Him. He wants me to let go.

Here it is: let go and grow.

Matthew 11:28-30

King James Version (KJV)

²⁸ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
²⁹ Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I'm letting go. Thank You Jesus.
